What sort of temperature were you printing at? I recently did a job where Eryone white was specifically requested, and printed at 200C which is a fair bit lower than I usually work at.
It is fairly waxy and tends to shrink on itself a little - suggest thick and very slow first layer.

perhaps also increase retraction distance a little?

That’s a helpful benchmark, as I was printing using Cura defaults for Ender-3 machines, at 200/60 with Eryone white, and zero issues.
Try going back to basics with cleaning – both vigorously rubbing down the bed with isopropyl alcohol to get rid of any grease, and cleaning out (or replacing) the nozzle.

Then check the first layer is appropriately ‘smooshed’ into the build bed – just to the point the 1st bead of filament is slightly flattened, but not transparently thin.
Finally, check while printing if you can hear little pops coming from the nozzle (like rice krispies!) indicating excess moisture in the filament escaping and causing inconsistency.
Finally, do you have another reel of the same? I had good luck with 3 of 3 reels, but the designer who specified the filament has had ‘bad’ reels before. It’s at the cheap end of filament and can be inconsistent – but that’s only hearsay for me.
Cheers,

Ian G,
I would like you to know that, in my experience at least, curling
and warping can be caused by air movements, draughts, in the
vicinity.
So, unless your printer is a fully-enclosed model, it will be worthwhile hacking a cardboard box into a temporary shelter by way of experiment.
Even though you had no problems until you changed brand of
filament, cooler air could still be a factor.
Ian B.
